Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua tov to you and yours.
Cooperating weather today?
Sun is just starting to come out here.

Really hot and steamy...I’ve been hiding out in the A/C and FReeping.
Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.
Sounds like a healthy choice.
Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.
Bible in a Year :
I myself am a man under authority.
“Dad, can I spend the night with my friend?” my daughter asked, getting into the car after practice. “Honey, you know the answer,” I said. “I’m just the driver. I don’t know what’s happening. Let’s talk with Mom.”
“I’m just the driver” has become a joke in our home. Daily, I ask my organized wife where I need to be, when, and whom I’m taking where. With three teens, my “moonlighting” as a “taxi driver” sometimes feels like a second job. Often, I don’t know what I don’t know. So, I have to check in with the master calendar keeper.
In Matthew 8, Jesus encountered a man who also knew something about taking and giving instruction. A Roman centurion, this man understood that Jesus had the authority to heal, just as the centurion had authority to issue commands to those under him. “Just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me” (vv. 8-9). Christ commended the man’s faith (vv. 10, 13), amazed that he understood what His authority looked like in action.
So what about us? What does it look like to trust Jesus with our daily assignments from Him? Because even if we think we’re “just the driver,” each assignment has kingdom meaning and purpose.
Reflect & Pray
What helps you to discern where and how God is leading you daily? What barriers sometimes get in the way of hearing and obeying Him?
Father, thank You that You lead me and guide my steps. Please help me to walk daily in dependence on You as You direct me according to Your plan and purpose.

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
And a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Oh yes...and there was a Live thread for the Atlanta Rally today, which was fun.
I’ve been working all day, but will have to find that thread. I am rarely able to follow along in real time, but really enjoy being able to enjoy them eventually.
God Bless our military men and women who have given their all.
Thanks, unique.
Welcome Troops, Veterans, Families, and Allies!
God Bless You and Keep You Safe.
Keep the Lord’s day in the Lord’s way.
A blessed Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (Western)/Sixth Sunday after Pentecost (Orthodox) to all!
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
THANK YOU
for your service!
